How can I extend expiry time of Knox-Token

Question

I haven't changed the settings of Knox in my Django app. The default expiry time is 10hours, how can I change this that it won't expiry.

Answer 1

TOKEN_TTL

    REST_KNOX = {
       'TOKEN_TTL': timedelta(hours=10),  # default time 10h
    }

just do

    REST_KNOX = {
       'TOKEN_TTL': None,  # will create tokens that never expire
    }

check the documentation

Answer 2

Change the TOKEN_TTL item on REST_KNOX. Based on docs. TOKEN_TTL This is how long a token can exist before it expires. Expired tokens are automatically removed from the system.

from datetime import timedelta
from rest_framework.settings import api_settings
REST_KNOX = {
  'SECURE_HASH_ALGORITHM': 'cryptography.hazmat.primitives.hashes.SHA512',
  'AUTH_TOKEN_CHARACTER_LENGTH': 64,
  'TOKEN_TTL': timedelta(hours=10),  # default time 10h
  'USER_SERIALIZER': 'knox.serializers.UserSerializer',
  'TOKEN_LIMIT_PER_USER': None,
  'AUTO_REFRESH': False,
  'EXPIRY_DATETIME_FORMAT': api_settings.DATETME_FORMAT,
}

Look at docs for more info.
